    NEW DELHI: Cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman have been nominated by Indian cricket board president Jagmohan Dalmiya as members of the Cricket Advisory Committee of the BCCI.

    The trio has accepted the invitation to be part of this committee, which will advise BCCI on various progressive steps which are needed to be taken, that will enable Indian cricket to be better prepared for the challenges of the future, BCCI said in a statement.

    The areas of immediate focus for the committee will be to provide guidance to the Indian national cricket team as it sets out to enhance its performance on overseas engagements, provide direction to improve the board’s talent pathway and take steps to strengthen domestic cricket to better prepare players to handle the rigours of International cricket.

    “I am happy to note that our eminent cricketers have come forward to lend their experience and insights as we work towards a common goal of taking Indian Cricket to greater heights. The coming generations are bound to benefit from the guidance that will be provided by these luminaries and will go a long way in strengthening our existing system,” Dalmiya said.

    BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said: “On behalf of all my colleagues in the BCCI, I thank Sachin, Sourav and Laxman for having accepted our invitation to be part of this prestigious committee and I am confident that their invaluable advice will help Indian cricket regain its leadership position in all formats of the game. Their participation augurs well for the future of the game in our country and the noble intention to ‘give back to the game’, is commendable.”
